Not really? What you are saying applies to anything that uses hashing of some sort, where the goal by design is to have completely different outputs even with a single bit flip.
And "resilience" is not a precise enough term? Is just recovering after errors due to flips? Or is it guaranteeing that the operation will yield correct output (which implies not crashing)? The latter is far harder.
